Commentary

Width 1.35 is given by Robinson, from De Cou's notes. It seems improbable, such grave steles being rather ca. 0.55 broad. It should be an error for height.

From the copy in block-letters, it is difficult to judge of the date. If the last letter is really an omicron, the inscription could still belong to the end of V B.C.
